Our friend George Daniel put together this great video, in which he demonstrates how to tie one of his favorite streamer patterns, the Sculp Snack. Although the pattern looks complex, you’ll see that the tying steps are remarkably easy, and George walks you through them with clear instructions. The Sculp Snack is an effective early-season pattern because it’s heavy, features a big profile, and offers plenty of fish-attracting motion and flash.
